A portrait of 77-year-old Juliane Sellam, who is as full of life and vibrancy as the iconic Parisian neighborhood she calls home. Director Sofia Bohdanowicz, however, doesn't turn her camera on these frequently photographed streets (once walked by the likes of Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh) or attractions like Sacre Coeur. Instead, Bohdanowicz focuses on the daily life of Sellam in the pre-war apartment this French astrologer has lived in for half a century.

"A film that is as revealing as it is honest and sincere." - Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
